sweets to the sweet...

i just got back from the spectrum show and i am VERY disappointed. if i hadn't heard how good the two opening bands were it would've been entirely not worth it- the $30 i spent on an igo car to get all the way to the darkroom and the $15 to get into the show. it's amazing to me that pete kember can spend as much time on the road playing the same setlist every night of his life comprised of songs that he's been playing steadily for over 20 years and somehow he manages to not be able to sing them and play like a middle schooler who's been playing guitar for about 3 months. i guess he was on a lot of drugs or he's just toast...
now i have to slog my way through work tomorrow on 3 hours of sleep- which i did last week for neko case. of course, i was happy to do it for neko case because she gave me my money's worth- and i spent $50. i guess i'm glad i finally went to see spectrum and now i never have to go again- what a total let-down.
at least i got a chance to listen to the whole of the new warlocks album (which is excellent btw).
